    Her gentle smile.

    His rambunctious energy.

    The soft curls, tiny toes and dimpled cheeks….

    Life is about the little things. Those moments that happen everyday but you want to remembered forever. Your son playing with the hose in the backyard – wet, silly and full of fun. Watching them swinging so high you think their toes may touch the sky. The look of joy on their faces, the wind mussing their hair as they return to earth and back up again. A favorite book you’ve read over and over, yet each time she listened to like it’s the first.

    Life is about the little things. We want our photos to capture those little details you hold close to your heart. Those little moments you don’t ever want to forget. Life in details.

    Many people ask us what “Kokoro” means. It is the Japanese word for “heart, spirit or soul”, and it’s a word inspired by Amanda’s experience teaching in the Japanese school system after graduating from college. Both of us, Debi and Amanda, are passionate about the photography profession — and the word “Kokoro” clearly reflects our passion to reveal your heart, your spirit, your soul in each image we capture for your family.

The Biggers Family Portraits – Hudson Gardens

We’ve known the Biggers family for years now. These are the people that you’d go on vacation with because you know even if they are grumpy they’re still having a good time. They know how to be silly and enjoy themselves and encourage everyone else to join right in with them. Currently, Hudson Gardens has massive holiday decorations everywhere, everything from giant white elephants to odd white sticks that are 12 feet tall sticking out of the ground. All kinds of things fun and unusual things to keep the Biggers family entertained!

Miss Olivia is my redheaded daughter – the one I never had.

I put the “normal” photos up first and saved the silly for last. They are making pumpkin faces at me!

To see the rest of the silly photos you’ll have to check out their photos here: The Biggers Family

Kokoro Photography – Grace

Grace recently got her hair braided for school. She has a swimming class this semester and getting her massive amount of hair taken care of before her next class was making her tardy for her next class. Braids were the easy (yet….. not so easy) solution. All these little braids take a ridiculous amount of time to put in and again to remove. But well worth the time save getting ready in the morning and again after swim class.

and then she went from teen girl to horse woman. In about 5 minutes she’d changed her clothes, pulled back all those braids and was tacking up her horse. Soon to be jumping him three feet without any effort.

Chrissy, Dave and Josh – Kokoro Photography Family Portraits

We had the very good fortune to shoot Chrissy and Dave’s wedding a year ago June at Red Rocks. They are such a fun couple, in fact they are downright silly – which is what we loved about them. So we were thrilled when they recently added little Josh to their family. Even more thrilled when they asked us to please come meet him and do some photos.

Now this is the silly part I mentioned before….. yes…. Dave and Josh are dressed like hot dogs! (Should I mention they have a costume for the cat as well?) Our suggestion is that Chrissy add a ketchup bottle costume for Halloween!

Ryan Senior Portraits – Hudson Gardens

Seems like we’ve been spending most of our time at Hudson Gardens this summer! Between senior portraits and weddings it’s been a great place to hang out. The flowers have been beautiful and the mosquitoes haven’t been as abundant as in past summers the added bonus…. is it’s close to home.

Ryan will be graduating from Heritage High School this May. He’s still as quiet as he was back in elementary school when he and Spencer were playing soccer together. I thought back then that Ryan would play soccer forever but it turns out the baseball is Ryan’s passion. We hope he’ll have a great senior year of high school and that the future brings him the best of everything!
